Sound waves • Sound – longitudinal waves in a substance (air, water, metal, etc.

Sound waves • Sound – longitudinal waves in a substance (air, water, metal, etc. ) with frequencies detectable by human ears (between ~ 20 Hz and ~ 20 KHz) • Ultrasound – longitudinal waves in a substance (air, water, metal, etc. ) with frequencies higher than detectable by human ears (> 20 KHz) • Infrasound – longitudinal waves in a substance (air, water, metal, etc. ) with frequencies lower than detectable by human ears (< 20 Hz)

Speed of sound • Speed of sound: ρ – density of a medium, B

Rate of energy transmission • As the wave travels it transports energy, even though the particles of the medium don’t propagate with the wave • The average power of energy transmission for the sinusoidal solution of the wave equation • Exact expression depends on the medium or the system through which the wave is propagating

Intensity of sound • Intensity of sound – average rate of sound energy transmission

Intensity of sound • Intensity of sound – average rate of sound energy transmission per unit area • For a sinusoidal traveling wave: • Decibel scale β – sound level; I 0 = 10 -12 W/m 2 – lower limit of human hearing

Sound from a point source • Point source – source with size negligible compared

Sound from a point source • Point source – source with size negligible compared to the wavelength • Point sources produce spherical waves • Wavefronts – surfaces over which oscillations have the same value • Rays – lines perpendicular to wavefronts indicating direction of travel of wavefronts
